THE strain upraise of joy and praise, Alleluia To the glory of their King Shall the ransom'd people sing, Alleluia And the choirs that dwell on high Shall re-echo through the sky, Alleluia They in the rest of Paradise who dwell The blessed ones with joy the chorus swell, Alleluia The planets beaming on their heavenly way, The shining constellations join and say, Allelui i Ye clouds that onward sweep, Ye winds on pinions light, Ye thunders, echoing loud and deep, Ye lightnings, wildly bright, In sweet consent unite your Alleluia! Ye floods and ocean billows, Ye storms and winter snow, Ye days of cloudless beauty, Hoar frost and summer glow : Ye groves that wave in spring, And glorious forests, sing. Alleluia ! First, let the birds, with painted plumage gay, Exalt their great Creator's praise, and say, Alleluia ! Then let the beasts of earth, with varying strain, Join in creation's hymn, and cry again, Alleluia! Here let the mountains thunder forth sonorous, Alleluia ! There let the valleys sing in gentler chorus, Alleluia! Thou jubilant abyss of ocean, cry, Alleluia! Ye tracts of earth and continents reply, Alleluia ! To God, who all creation made. The frequent hymn be duly paid : Alleluia ! This is the strain, the eternal strain, the Lord Almighty loves : Alleluia ! This is the song, the heavenly song, that Christ, the King, approves : Alleluia ! Wherefore we sing, both heart and voice awaking, Alleluia ! And children's voices echo, answer making. Alleluia ! Now from all men be outpour'd Alleluia to the Lord ; With Alleluia evermore The Son and Spirit we adore. Praise be done to the Three in One, Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen! PROCESSIONAL HYMN 202. HPHE Church's one foundation -*- Is |esus Christ her Lord ; She is his new creation By water and the word : From heaven he came and sought her To be his holy bride ; With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died, . Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth ; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. . Though with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest ; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. .. 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war. She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore ; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. . Yet she on earth hath union With God I he Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy ! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. HYMN 102. ^OME see the place where Jesus lay, -^And hear angelic watchers say, "He lives, who once was slain : Why seek the living 'midst the dead? Remember how the Saviour said That he would rise again." 3. The First-begotten of the dead, For us he rose, our glorious Head, Immortal life to bring ; What though the saints like him shall die, They share their Leader's victory, And triumph with their King. A LLhail the power of Jesus' name! -^-*- Let angels prostra'e fall ; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown him Lord of all. 2. Crown him, ye martyrs of our God, Who from his altar call ; Extol the Stem ol Jesse's rod, And crown him Lord of all. 3. Hail him, the Heir of David's line Whom David Lord did call ; The God incarnate ! Man divine! And crown him Lord of all. 4. No more they tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save, And raise their slumbering dust: O risen Lord, in thee we live, To thee our ransom'd souls we give, To thee our bodies trust. HYMN 424, C, M. 4. Ye seed of Israel's chosen race, Ye ransom'd of the fall, Hail him who saves you by his grace, And crown him Lord of all. 5. Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall, Go, spread your trophies at his feet, And crown him Lord of all. 6. Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To him all majesty ascribe. And crown him Lord of all. FOR USE ONLY IN THE NORTH CAROLINA COLLECTION Form No. A-368, Rev. 8/95 --^y^^
